Luxury boutique hotel group Songtsam and Canadian clothing brand ARC'TERYX revealed a snow mountain apparel collection. The Meili Snow Mountain Range, Kawagarbo Peak, also inspired the collection. The apparel collection took five years of strategic planning as both brands sought to bring a common vision to life -- one centered around outdoor exploration.
The collection includes various vibrant jackets and a backpack containing ARC'TERYX's technical designs. Specifically, the collection consists of the Beta AR Jacket, Gamma Hoody, and Aerios 15L Backpack. The standout item is the Gamma Hoody, which comes in orange, dark blue, and yellow colorways. It features GORE-TEX PRO, a highly versatile shell with a hybrid construction for durability and weather-resistant qualities. The collection was first shown in a media-sharing session at ARC'TERYX Broadway.
